Hi, I'm now using gBib as my BibTeX editor. >From gBib I learned how to connect to the LyXServer pipe, by setting this in the preferences. However, when I have LyX running with the LyXServer pipe setting of "/home/lahaye/.lyx/pipe", there supposed to be two files: /home/lahaye/.lyx/pipe.in /home/lahaye/.lyx/pipe.out When I do repeatedly an "ls" in the .lyx directory, these files seem to be not there all the time. On and off they appear in the ls listing and then disappear the next time. Is that the right behaviour? I came to this, because gBib seems to randomly been able or unable to connect to the LyXServer. Half of the time gBib says: Opened -1 -1 Couldn't open the pipes: No such file or directory and the other half of the time it successfully connects: Opened 6 7 (Of course, once properly connected, the connection remains). I assume that this is related to the presence of the pipe files in the .lyx directory. Because these files are not there all the time, it is a "miss or hit" chance when gBib tries to connect. Anyway, I myself am not at all familiar with this pipe business. However, I am wondering whether LyX is doing something funny/wrong here, or gBib is doing the wrong action to connect to LyX. BTW: I'm running LyX CVS on a FreeBSD 4.3 PC. Regards, Rob.
